The default behavior of Tableau when you add a measure to the view is to automatically apply an aggregation to that measure. The type of aggregation applied can vary depending on the context of the view. For example, if no other measures or dimensions affect the measure, Tableau might default to SUM. However, if there are other dimensions in the view that define the level of detail, the aggregation might be different to reflect the context.

Hierarchies in Tableau are used to define a drill-down path through your data. By creating a hierarchy, you can organize related fields together, which makes it easier to navigate complex data models. This also allows users to explore data at different levels of detail, from the highest level of the hierarchy to the most granular details, simply by clicking to expand and collapse levels of the hierarchy in the view.

According to Tableau ' s official documentation:

Explanation

Yes, it is very much possible to use measures in the same view multiple times. For example, refer to the image below:

We are using  BOTH  the  Sum  of the revenue and the  AVG  of the revenue in the same view!

Discrete measures and discrete dimensions appear blue in Tableau. Discrete fields are those that have a finite number of distinct values, such as names, categories, or dates. Discrete fields are usually used to create headers or labels in the view. Blue fields indicate that the field is discrete. Continuous measures and continuous dimensions appear green in Tableau. Continuous fields are those that have an infinite range of possible values, such as numbers or ratios. Continuous fields are usually used to create axes or color gradients in the view.  Green fields indicate that the field is continuous 1

To change a measure so that it automatically aggregates as an average instead of a sum, you should right-click the field in the Data pane and select Default Properties. In the Default Properties menu, you can set the default aggregation for the measure, such as setting it to calculate an average by default when added to a view.

In Tableau, the two elements that can have their values changed by using a dashboard action are Sets and Parameters. Dashboard actions can be configured to modify the values within a set or a parameter, allowing for interactive and dynamic changes in the visualization based on user interactions. For example, selecting a specific data point in a dashboard can trigger an action that updates a set or changes the value of a parameter, which in turn can alter the displayed data or the appearance of visualizations within the dashboard.

From the official Tableau documentation:

As we can see below, Bar charts can be used as a floating object.

By default, the shape that a Heap map uses is a  " Square " .  See below:

Explanation

Phew! Tricky one! You needed to use filters in this one.

Follow along:

2) Next, as the question mentions, we need to focus on the Assortment PHONE, the color WHITE, and the state of NEW YORK. - > so we use filters for this!

i) First drag  Assortment  to Filters, and select only Phones :

ii) Next, drag Color to Filters and Choose only White:

iii) Next, drag  State ID  to Filters, and choose New York (NY):

And Voila! We have our answer as follows:

iv) Last, drag Sales to Label:
